Portugal at the Paralympics
Portugal made its Paralympic Games début at the 1972 Summer Paralympics (two years before the Carnation Revolution), where it was represented solely by a men's team in wheelchair basketball. They were eliminated at the preliminary stage of the competition, with one victory (over Switzerland) and three defeats. Portugal was then absent from the Paralympic Games until the 1984 Summer Games, where its athletes won the country's first fourteen medals, including three gold in track and field and one in boccia. Portugal has competed at every subsequent edition of the Summer Paralympics, but -almost uniquely among Western European countries[1]- has never taken part in the Winter Games.[2]

gollark: Is that actually available on new versions now?
gollark: "Interesting", yes.
gollark: * it's hard to balance because it's powerful
gollark: So first you're saying "it's hard to balance" and now "it's not very powerful"?
gollark: Which is probably not in *either* considering that viewpoint...
